iSkin Giveaway O’ the Day: evo4 Duo for iPod Classic 6G
With the immense popularity of the iPod Touch, it’s easy to forget about the “other” iPod, the one that started it all. Well, iSkin haven’t forgotten about the folks out there who are still proud owners of the iPod Classic (6G), which also happens to be the iPod for our featured iSkin Giveaway of the day – the evo4 Duo. Featuring a dual-layer design in which the outer frontal ViSOR is housed over an inner layer of silicone (to provide shock absorption), the evo4 is built with style and full-protection in mind. And for those constantly on the go, it also comes with a fully removable rotary belt clip system to keep your device just where you want it. So are you a proud owner of an iPod Classic 6G? If so, be sure to check out the contest details within to see how you can enter to win!
Full Count – Baseball pitchers, not beer pitchers
When I read the words, ‘Full Count’, I thought beer. Then, when in the next sentence, pitchers performance slid in, my beer gut got excited. Well, Full Count isn’t a beer app. Nope. It is an app to help coaches and parents with the little league, and I think that means baseball. A pitcher is that little tyke who throws a ball. S/he is also the poor sod whose performance numbers Full Count tracks. This pitching app helps track performance for an inning, game, or season so you can track the usefulness of training regimens.

iPastor – Recording the need
Bowers Technologies’ latest app, iPastor could be considered to an ad-hoc notepad for those in the ministry. It is a contact do-all which helps track needs, target ministry objectives, and divide responsibilities between staff. In short, it helps ministry workers succinctly organise their objectives and goals for better care. The cynic in me tells me that this can be done for less and doesn’t need to be marketed to pastors, but the App Store will tell us what is what in the coming months.
Bowers Technologies, Inc., iPastor – $4.99

Graham Slee Voyager headphone amp in Review – plastic surgery done right
As HiFi headphone listening evolves, so does its component base. Chic design has influenced many market heavyweights – even boutique audio companies have opted to create sexy. But whereas amps like the ALO Rx is a masterpiece of steam and industry, the Graham Slee Voyager is plastic and comparatively bulky. Thankfully, looks are deceiving. This amp really takes off, surpassing all of my expectations.
Update: Feel free to discuss about the Graham Slee Voyager in our forums
The iPad – an oversized iPod Touch
If you build it, they will come. The birth of the iPad from Apple’s womb brought mixed results from the fanboy/girl community. While some find the iPad as merely an eBook reader on steroids, some find it a bloated iPod Touch that brings nothing new to the table.
Call it what you will, one can’t deny a chuckle from the rather cheesy name. In fact, the “magical” iPad has spawned several comedic parodies amongst popular YouTubers like jacksfilms.
Whether you hate it or can’t get enough of it, the iPad is most definitely going to change the AppStore as we know it, and be a part of our joke arsenal for years to come.
9,999 Ringtones Uncensored in Review – Now Your Phone Can Tell You Who’s Calling
One of the issues that circled the iPhone for awhile was the inability to make custom ringtones. Apple fumbled initially but eventually recovered but whilst down, numerous companies sprung up to offer their services. They offer everything from creating ringtones to custom custom soundboards. The latter I have with me today in 9,999 Ringtones Uncensored.
V Is For Vortex in Review – Da Portal, Da Portal!
I never had the opportunity to play the game Portal, but from everything I read I’d imagine that the developer of V is for Vortex was somewhat inspired by that critically acclaimed game. I’m not going to give V the benefit of being coined a “2D Portal”, however. The problem it is that while the concept is sound, the execution is way too basic. As the game stands right now, it feels more like an early version than a final product, at least as far as content is concerned. V really needs to be expanded on and toughened up before it’s ready for prime time.
Interview with TapTunes’ author: Dave Blundell
At the end of 2009, I was caught listening different. TapTunes had me shuffling albums in new ways and enjoying the cleverness of my index finger whilst bopping out to Ice Cube. Its author, Dave Blundell was kind enough to shed light on his vision of the iDevice, the App Store, and a lot more goodness.
